A Wedding Ceremony That Honours Your Tradition, Your Way
A Jewish wedding is a beautiful, deeply meaningful celebration — and as an experienced, fully registered Jewish Civil Marriage Celebrant, I bring warmth, professionalism, and real care to crafting a ceremony that honours your heritage while telling your unique love story, with the marriage 100% legally recognised in Australia.
Whether it’s a fully traditional Jewish ceremony or an interfaith celebration blending Jewish customs with another tradition, every moment is thoughtfully shaped around you.
- A personalised ceremony reflecting your beliefs and traditions, in Hebrew and/or English
- As secular or as religious as you want it to be — nothing is fixed
- Free use of my two chuppahs — no need to source or hire your own
- Full guidance throughout, while every decision stays yours

Jewish Traditions You Can Include
There’s no single way to do a Jewish wedding — you choose what feels right for you.
Here are the customs couples most often include:
- The Chuppah — the ceremony takes place under this canopy, symbolising the home you’ll share and keep open to others
- The Seven Circles — the traditional Ashkenazi custom of circling seven times, symbolising the building of your new world together
- Giving of the Ring — the moment the marriage becomes official under Jewish law
- The Kiddush — a blessing over wine, marking the sanctification of your marriage
- The Seven Blessings — recited to close the ceremony, celebrating joy, creation, and the couple
- Breaking of the Glass — the ceremony’s most iconic moment, a reminder of life’s fragility and the promise of a love built to last
Any of these can stand alone or sit alongside rituals from another faith or culture — the ceremony is entirely yours to shape.
A Real Jewish-Interfaith Wedding
One couple I married brought together a Jewish groom and a bride from a Christian background, blending both traditions into one ceremony. They chose to include the Kiddush — sipping from the cup together as I recited the blessing — alongside the bride’s father walking her down the aisle to where we waited under a chuppah decorated with flowers. It’s one of many examples of how two traditions can sit together beautifully in a single ceremony.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Interfaith ceremonies are something I do often — you can include any combination of customs from Jewish and other traditions, entirely based on what feels right for you both.

No — I have two chuppahs available for you to use at no extra cost.
Can the ceremony be entirely secular, with Jewish elements as symbolic touches only?
Yes — the ceremony can be as religious or as secular as you’d like, from a few symbolic customs through to a fully traditional structure.
